It has many quality of life features such as save states, Joystic support, screen positioning, RTC, microphone and much more..! It's developed by a former contributor of DeSmuME and even has libretro core available. There's also active development of an Android port.
It also requires DS BIOS/firmware copies
bios7.bin, 16KB: ARM7 BIOS
bios9.bin, 4KB: ARM9 BIOS
firmware.bin, 128/256/512KB: firmware
Please note firmware boot requires a firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly.
